Summary
"Different Views in Hudson River School Painting explores the art and artists who pioneered America's first native style of art and looked to the country's landscape for inspiration and meaning. Judith Hansen O'Toole's commentaries on artists' works and writings alongside reproductions of 120 paintings illuminate the aesthetic and philosophical principles of the Hudson River School painters. O'Toole discusses the shared iconography used by these painters, considers the visual dialogue engaged in by artists responding to one another's paintings, and situates the works in the context of nineteenth-century America." "Different Views is also the first major study to illuminate the practice of Hudson River School artists of creating pairs, series, and groupings of paintings that are thematically related and intended to be viewed together."--BOOK JACKET.
